Income Levy Defeated by Big Margin
In Austin on March 16 the Texas House debated a proposed constitutional amendment to levy about 35 million dollars a year in old age pension taxes. The body, tiring from discussion, neared a final vote while a strong opposition argued taxes belong in statutes not the constitution. The income tax was defeated by a wide margin 88 to 52, and a motion to strike the resolution clause failed. Representatives Isaacks and Derden urged killing the amendment, claiming special interests push social security taxes and a broad tax shift. The governor’s backers faced significant opposition amid tax-burden concerns.
